Institubes
The French institubes label, along with Ed Banger, is one of the most popular electronic music labels. Only a country of origin and good relations connect him with Ed Banger. Otherwise, the performers of Institubes represent a unique music, not like other colleagues in the workshop.
Institubes was founded by world-famous French musicians/producers Teki Latex, Tido Berman and Cuizinier (which are also the founders of the TTC electro-hop-hop). Later, they were joined by Para One and Tacteel, who are also the key label performers. Institubes is not positioned as an electric label. Due to the fact that many of the performers signed on it grew under the strong influence of hip-hop, this genre is always present as an Institubes element. Tacteel prefers to be attributed to the label to the stream. In the sound of artists there are elements of techno, electr, psychedelics, house, disco, harmoniously mixing with each other.
At the moment, 14 performers are on Institubes. The composition is not as star as that of Ed Banger, but with huge potential. It is enough to see what the very young Surkin and Bobmo could already achieve (we will talk about them below) to understand what should be expected from Institubes in the future. The composition of Institubes is divided into already held performers who are very popular and promising young musicians.
Full list of label performers:
Bobmo, Cuizinier, Curses!, Das Glow, David Rubato, Jean Nipon, High Powered Boys, Midnight Juggerenauts, Orgasmic, Para One, So Fresh Squad, Surkin, Tacteel.
We will get acquainted with the most significant of them.
Para One
Jean-Baptiste de Laubier is one of the most significant French electrical musicians/new generation producers. He is one of the first Institubes performers, and the most central of them.
Starting in 1993 a career for a rap musician, Para One was interested in producing thanks to his first hip-hop group, for which he also composed all the words. Since then, he has become a successful producer, working with stars such as Daft Punk, Boys Noize and Mstrkrft. His remix to the song Boys Noize-“My Head” has become one of the tracks on the Boys Noize remix album-“OI OI OI Remixed”, and his second EP-“Clubhoppn” became a favorite among a world-class di-ladies, such as Feadz, Erol Alkan, Justice.
The Para One-“Epiphanie” album is very popular and is one of the most successful Institubes releases, and the single “Dudun-Dun” has become a club hit and received a very popular remix from Mstrkrft.
The uniqueness of her music Para One conquers the crowds of party members around the world, as well as people who love to just listen to good music. The deceptive external calmness of Para One during performances (except when Surkin plays with it) contrasts with the energy that his music is charged. This is far from crazy, heartbreaking electro, but music created to make people dance. In the sound of Para One tracks, a strong influence of French techno, hip-hop and even minimal are manifested. It seems that the talent of this brilliant artist has no limit. Para One is not just an electronic artist and a DJ, but a real musician musician.
Para One is also fond of directing. His last work is the “One More Song” project - a series about the adventures of musicians Institubes.
Rumors have been going on about the appearance of Para One in Moscow, and its performance is expected in the near future.

Surkin
The 22-year-old Benoit Heitz is currently the most demanded by Institubes performer and one of the most promising French musicians. He is very popular among young people in the Wema, thanks to a very interesting approach to creating his music. Surkin successfully creates a mixture between two rival genres: Electro and House (no, this is not an electro-house), adding elements of psychedelics, disco and techno. The huge Benoit fan base is explained by the much more “pop” tracks compared to its friend-mentor Para One and other label colleagues.
Despite his young voting, Surkin has already recorded three EP, one of which “NEXT of KIN EP” appeared last month. One of the first singles of the young musician - “Radio FireWorks” - was the song No. 1 in the list of 2006's favorite compositions from the French giants Justice. Joint remix with Chromeo song “White Knight Two” with “Next of Kin Ep”, “Chrome Knight”, also became a great hit that deserved comments like “Surkin shows a huge potential with its first -class songs, and he has excited himself from“ Chrome Knight ”.”
Now Surkin is working on his first album, and his demand is confirmed by the fact that in 2008 he had no free dates for performances.

Midnight Juggernauts
The Midnight Juggernauts Melbourne trio does not need a special performance. For several years, various music magazines and blogs have been cumming about them.
For those who are not familiar with their work: Midnight Juggernauts - Australian Indie/Disco, consisting of Vincenie Wendetta, Andrew Dzhaggernaut and Daniel Striker. Popularity came to them thanks to joint performances with Justice in the United States, and later with Klaxons, Surkin, Crystal Castles, etc.
Their music can be compared with Cut Copy, but they are far from the same. Midnight Juggerenauts give their music a cosmic atmosphere, Ambient elements are felt.
In 2007, the debut album of the team-“Dystopia” was released, and in the spring of this year additional materials for the album appeared. A lot of remixes have been made for songs from the album, in particular from Architecture in Helsinki, Cut Copy, M83 and The Presets. Midnight Juggernauts themselves also release remixes from time to time. Among them are the remixes of the songs Cut Copy, The Presets, !!!, Sebastian pllier, Electric Six.

Bobmo
19 (!)-The Bobmo summer producer is the youngest musician on Institubes, but far from the “weak”. Do not laugh, but Bobmo began his musical career without any musical education, as a rapper, creating his music on the PlayStation (this is the same with Battlecat, which use the guitar for Guitar Hero).
Later, Bobmo became interested in technology and electronics and decided to seriously engage in music. In the near future, his EP “Let's Go Bobmo!” He became a great hit, having won Bobmo the respect of such stars as MSTRKRFT, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO and BUSY P. For “Let's Go Bobmo!” Ep “To the Bobmobile” and “3000% Yes” followed.
Bobmo music is similar to the work of his best friend Surkin’s, but it has more children's playfulness, it is less mature, but no less energetic. Bobmo and Surkin work together in a joint promising High Powered Boys project, which recently released the first EP “Sounds of Cain”.
Last.fm gave a good description of Bobmo: “Imagine that Surkin has a little brother who stole all the older brother cars when he was not at home. This guy is Bobmo. "
David Rubato
David Rubato is one of the flagships of the Institubes label. For the most part, David is a producer. In addition, he is a musician musician, but his abilities are not limited to this. He is also a poet, musicologist, arranger, sound engineer. All these abilities help David create music rare for the electrical beauty genre. Keeping in tracks the combination between electro and disco traditional for representatives of Institubes, Rubato also gives them a more atmospheric sound.
In the arsenal, David Rubato does not have a lot of tracks: several remixes and four of his own single, the last of which - 'Circuit' - became the hit of 2008. Remixes for this song were made by such loud names as DJ Mehdi, Aeroplane and Siriusmo. The previous single “Deep Inside” is also very popular. The last Remix Rubato for the song Alizee - “Fifty Sixty” even received his own clip. Despite the success that David Rubato achieved as a musician, he continues to keep producing in the first place and rarely acts live.

TACTEEL
A very strange young man in nature. Tacteel was a key figure in the formation of Institubes, so to speak, "Figure behind the scenes." His music is not like any of the performers of the label, it has a lot of psychedelic filters and samples, as well as the elements of the disco of the 80s.
Tacteel himself prefers to listen to a seasoned gangster rap and loves Nike multi -colored jackets bought in Tokyo. His music is quite monotonous and obvious for an amateur, but Tacteel is more producer than a musician. One of its most significant merits is the producing for the TTC group mentioned at the beginning of the electrical hip-hop.

Das Glow
Damien Granier ("Alex J. Murphy") was born in Moscow in 1982. During the round in Europe, Das Glow settled in Paris, but at that time he still hated all the music, except for techno, which later the love of electric and other club music grew. In 2001, he acquires his first turntables. Later, Damien meets Feadz and begins to record his own music and perform in clubs.
At the moment, DAS Glow does not have much released material, but it is already very great interest among European clubs, and the clubs are almost always clogged at his performances. Das Glow music is specific, it is inclined to techno, noise, minimal and ambiment, there are electrics. The single “Sunburnt” was included in Boys Noize in the mix “Bugged Out Presents: Suck My Deck - Mixed by Boys Noize”.
Das Glow belongs to the young and promising part of Institubes. It will be interesting to see how his career will develop in the future.
From myself, I will say that I heard that Das Glow is planning to bring to Moscow in the near future.
Cuizinier
28-year-old rapper Cuizinier (Alexandre Miranda) is one of the founders of Institubes and TTC. Alexander has been engaged in music since 1998. All his tracks are a mixture of light electronics and hip-hop, mainly in French.
The Cuizinier asset as a solo artist 3 releases. The last of them - “Pour les filles vol. III” appeared in May of this year. As a producer for all releases, Cuiziner chose a colleague from the label - DJ Orgasmic.
